In this lesson, we consider the specific effects of muscular imbalances involving the hip flexors in general and the psoas in particular.
Objective
Be familiar with the effects of muscular imbalances involving the hip flexors such as the many potential effects of a weak or tight psoas.
Description
Describe the effect of excessive sitting on hip flexors and on posture. Note the type of standing poses that will be challenging for students with tight hip flexors. Explain the effect of having hamstrings that are more flexible than hip flexors and more of the potential results from imbalances involving the psoas muscles.
